SMNR 385 - Designing a Life You Love

Courses on happiness and leading meaningful lives are taking off at universities nationwide. And for good reason. In times of so much uncertainty, isolation and information overload, we need new ways of navigating life outside of traditional approaches to planning for the future. In this course, we will explore content and practice skills that help you live life on purpose and design your life in ways that create a deep sense of meaning and fulfillment especially in times of transition (like graduation or your first years at college). Learn to stop going through the motions of life and stop playing by everyone else's rules and start creating the life you want even when you're not sure what that is or what step to take next. Find your way through the overwhelming array of choices with ease. And learn research-based practices for noticing and reducing stress so it stops driving your life. Together, we will practice experiencing joy, connection, and satisfaction no matter what your life looks like in the moment. This course will be highly experiential and provide opportunities for you to immediately apply course principles to your life.
